Large-scale geographical questions about Europe are always difficult to answer correctly, as there are different views on them.

Homebuilt (by Axel Lind?) in or near Gothenburg, completed in 1967 (registered as model year 1969). Hillman Imp mechanicals (engine, transmission, suspension, and brakes), plywood frame, fiberglass body. Not sure of the designation, but the script on the side appears to read "Imp GT."

Modified my post before seeing your response. Is the designation "Imp GT?"

Yes, 'Imp GT' is part of the car's designation, but not the complete one
